The Tudor Tailor

[callistotoni]

I forgot to mention that I got my copy (signed!) of The Tudor Tailor Monday night. It's actually sort of a small book, but it looks useful. It is strictly English, with more coverage given to Henry VIII and middle class styles. Also included are post-1580s stuff. It is as though the authors wanted to cover stuff that hasn't been done in other books. TTT also has some pictures that I've never seen before, which is always a nice surprise.

I've read the first two chapters. I found it gratifying that the authors cite Arnold and Hunnesett right away as the most useful previously published works--nice to know the Paid Professionals agree with me.
:-)

Pretty cool, if not awe inspiring like the Moda book. I'd recommended to all my fellow 16th C enthusiasts.

Yup, mine showed up on Monday, too. Now I'm being all tempted by late-period clothes again. :)

Well you would look stunning with a capital Stun in it.
But then you look good in just about everything.

But please don't fall to the Norse Side.

Please no more over extrapolated Vikings. Oops, was that my outside voice? :-)

yep, but I concure.

Bah. I'm so tired of the vikings. I just want to revel in the 14th century for a while. Speaking of which, I need a new goffered veil. :)

Ooohh. Yes. Come (back?) to the dark side... :)

Perfect! I'd like to check it out on Saturday. Think I'm going to have to buy it asap. :)

I am still waiting for my copy.
Maybe in today's mail.

The one I bought as a 12th Night gift just arrived. Very cool so far, although I only had time for a quick glance. :)
